"Oh? Are you guys planning to go to the Tomb of the Mountain Behind together? It's just..."
Feng Tao was happy at first, because in their family, except for his father and several heads of the side branches who were above the ninth level of Qi Condensation, the cultivation base of most disciples was not high.
Regardless of others, even if Tang Tian and Wu Yi could really go, that would be what she wanted most, and they would definitely be of great help.
However, except for Zhang Ming, the other three did not ask for any reward. Although she had originally planned to give them some, if they made another move, she would be at a loss as to what kind of reward would be appropriate.
Her gaze finally fell on Zhang Ming. She knew that this man would not take action unless he was paid. She could owe favors to others, but it would be difficult to talk to Zhang Ming.
She didn't know that Li Yan had not agreed, and thought that everyone had already agreed. When Li Yan saw Feng Tao looking at him, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"If I go, I will get something, and your family will not confiscate it."
Li Yan's words surprised Feng Tao, while Tang Tian on the other side chuckled in his heart.
"I knew you wouldn't dare to disobey me. Otherwise, I would have found a reason to teach you a lesson this time."
As for what Tang Tian had secretly said to Li Yan just now, Tian Denghu and Wu Yi really didn't know, so they were not very surprised by Li Yan's question.
This is what Fang Guangjun said in his previous message. Now Junior Brother Zhang Ming has confirmed it directly to Feng Tao. Of course, they also want to know about this.
"Oh, I have to ask my ancestor about this matter."
Feng Tao thought to herself, "If I knew there was no benefit, you wouldn't be willing to do it."
At this moment, the ancestor of the Feng family above had already arranged things and was looking at them. He certainly valued the disciples of "Falling Star Valley".
So he had been paying attention to Tang Tian's movements. He heard the conversation between the few people just now. At this time, Fang Guangjun on the side also moved his lips slightly.
"My fellow apprentices, your willingness to lend a hand is exactly what my Feng family has been looking for. Everything you have obtained in the Yin Tomb will belong to you. This is your chance.
Well, even if you don’t get any opportunities, my Feng family will not treat you unfairly. I, Feng, can still make the decision on this point.
But the tomb in the back mountain is also very dangerous, and the yin energy is too strong. You may suffer some losses in the battle, so you need to keep this in mind."
The ancestor of the Feng family did not hide the fact that he was eavesdropping on the conversation. Instead, he said it directly and finally generously offered to pay some compensation to Tang Tian and the others, appearing to be very magnanimous.
This made Fang Guangjun on the side secretly praise the ancestor of the Feng family. Just now, he only conveyed the message that if those disciples participated, they could just regard it as a training.
But the ancestor of the Feng family still did things that left people speechless.
Seeing that the Feng family ancestor had said so, Tang Tian could not refuse. He just glanced at Zhang Ming indifferently and thought to himself, "You are getting another good deal."
Li Yan looked as if he had no feeling towards Tang Tian's gaze. He was still thinking about a question in his mind, something that puzzled him.
"My feeling just now must be correct. Why did the other party suddenly show a hint of murderous intent? I have never dealt with him before. Is he targeting me or someone else around me?"
The other party probably didn't take him seriously at all. Although he was hiding his murderous intent, Li Yan still keenly sensed it.
It was because he sensed this hint of murderous intent that Li Yan suddenly changed his mind. He immediately decided to follow him. He wanted to see whether he was targeted.
He is suspicious by nature, and now he is lurking in the "Falling Star Valley". Once he finds something wrong, he must know the reason so that he can make a countermeasure.
Behind the Feng Family Mountain, there is no sunlight all year round, and thick fog lingers between the sky and the earth all year round.
Li Yan and his companions were standing at the entrance of a valley at this moment. Although they had not yet entered the valley, gusts of cold wind were already blowing out from the valley.
The cold wind blew the thicker gray fog in the valley outwards, making the entire valley dark. Although it was just after noon, the sky could no longer be seen clearly.
There is only a stone path leading to the valley that is only wide enough for three people to walk side by side. On both sides of the path are two high mountains with steep cliffs rising into the sky.
The stone path was soaked and damp with thick fog, making it a little slippery for people to walk on, but since everyone in the group was a monk, no one was likely to slip.
On the ground between the two sides of the stone path and the towering mountain wall, there are densely grown plants with dark green leaves, which are gently swayed by the mist that keeps rolling in the air, making them look somewhat green.
Many vines began to grow from the ground below and climbed up along the cliff, making the rock walls on both sides appear dark green, looming in the thick fog.
The ancestor of the Feng family stood at the entrance of the valley, stretched out his hand and slapped his waist. After a gray light, something appeared in his hand.
It was something that looked like the skull of some kind of creature, only the size of a palm, and was light gray in color. The surface of the bone looked unusually smooth, with several gray rays wandering across it.
The ancestor of the Feng family withdrew his hand and a flash of spiritual light appeared. A streak of black light bounced up from his skull and shot into the thick fog in front of him in the next moment.
Then the thick fog in front of everyone surged like a wave, and a passage appeared from the thick fog. The ancestor of the Feng family and Fang Guangjun were in front, without saying much. After looking at each other, the two stepped in.
Behind them, including Li Yan and the other four Luoxing Valley cultivators, there were a total of more than forty people. Most of the Feng family's elite forces were here.
Another ancestor of the Feng family, whom Feng Tao called the third ancestor, did not come with them. He wanted to lead the remaining few cultivators to stay in the front to guard the family.
There are many people coveting the Feng family's territory, but they cannot let others take advantage of the opportunity to destroy them just because all their forces are gathered in the back mountain.
If Fang Guangjun did not take action, then only one of the two ancestors of the Feng family would come to the back mountain. In this way, their speed of cleaning the Yin tomb behind would be much slower, after all, manpower is limited. Li Yan and his team followed in the middle of the team, and the group entered very quickly.
When the people from Luoxing Valley entered the passage, they were a little surprised. The scene in the passage was completely different from what they had imagined before.
When Tang Tian and the others were waiting for the Feng family ancestor to activate the formation in front of the valley entrance, they were judging the scene inside in their minds because their spiritual sense could not penetrate the formation at the valley entrance.
Since it was a tomb, everyone thought that once they entered the valley, they would be greeted by broken tombstones of varying sizes and tombs.
But when they set foot on the passage, they found that they were completely wrong. The passage did not lead to the valley. To be precise, the passage led directly into the underground from the entrance.
Underground, a path slightly wider than the previous one meanders through it. This path is exactly the path that the ancestor of the Feng family is currently leading everyone on.
Walking on this road, people would occasionally see a fork in the road, and no one knew where it led to.
The entire underground is like a huge maze, which is more than twenty feet high when you look up. A group of people walking in it seem so inconspicuous, like a group of ants crawling.
From time to time, a huge stone pillar appears on the road. The stone pillars give people a feeling of standing tall and upright, and are mottled, as if they have been eroded by the years.
Some are even incomplete and shaky, as if they will collapse at any time.
In some places, there would occasionally be some huge strips of cloth hanging down from the top of the wide tomb. To Li Yan, these strips of cloth looked like shrouds.
Some of the strips of cloth had a lot of clay stuck to them, and where the surface of the cloth was exposed there were patches of brown stuff that looked like dried blood.
These wide strips of cloth exuded a thick, decayed, muddy smell, as if they had been underground for thousands of years.
From time to time, biting cold winds blew around, causing the wide strips of cloth to shake and make a "bang bang bang..." sound. The sound was particularly harsh in the wide tomb.
There are many dark passages in the darkness of this maze-like underground. When the cold wind blows, it brings a strange "woooooo" sound around, making people feel colder in their bodies and colder in their hearts.
"This must be the Yin Feng!"
Tian Denghu, who was walking in the crowd, always prided himself on his bravery. At this moment, he couldn't help but shrink his neck. He felt the back of his neck became a little stiff, and he felt a chill coming out of his body unconsciously.
Tang Tian and the others on the side were also so shocked by the scenes that appeared in the tomb that they were speechless and felt a chill in their hearts.
Only the children of the Feng family seemed to be enjoying themselves here, and some even had a hint of intoxication in their eyes.
The lighting in the entire underground area was not very good. Everywhere they looked, Tang Tian and the others felt very depressed, as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts.
Occasionally, spots of red and green light would shine through on the top of the tomb, the surrounding walls, or the stone pillars and cloth strips, bringing some brightness and color to the place.
From time to time, a red and green light flashed in the darkness around the projection, then appeared and disappeared, and then reappeared, alternating between light and dark, making the farther distance appear pitch black.
This ray of light makes the entire underground look even more eerie and strange.
Not long after going down the passage, the voice of the Feng family ancestor came from the front.
"You must follow me and not take the forks along the way. Those forks lead to tombs.
Although there are no ghosts above the foundation building stage here now, there are still some who have reached the 80th or 90th level of Qi Condensation, and even some who have reached the great perfection of Qi Condensation.
They were sealed in some tombs that required forbidden tokens to open from the inside, but did not require any spells to enter from the outside.
If any of you accidentally break in, and Fellow Daoist Fang and I fail to detect it in time, there could be great danger, and the consequences are unknown."
After saying this, the ancestor of the Feng family stopped talking. He still held the unknown skull in his hand and walked forward quickly.
Of course, he was saying these words for Tang Tian and the others to hear. All the disciples of the Feng family knew this.
Seeing that Tang Tian and the others still had doubts in their eyes, Feng Zai Yu, who was walking on the side, immediately understood what his ancestor had said. A simple explanation could not let outsiders understand the situation, it mainly served as a reminder.
However, what our ancestor said today was as much as what he said in the past year combined, which is very rare.
What's more, this was when he was facing several younger disciples, and it was only because they were disciples of "Falling Star Valley" that the ancestor said a few more words, otherwise he would not have personally spoken to remind them.
Feng explained in a low voice while sitting on Yuma.
"The tomb that we enter from the valley entrance is the one closest to the exit. Starting from that tomb, our Feng family has worked hard over generations to slowly connect the tombs that we can control into a larger and wider tomb.
Therefore, all the forks here added together can actually lead to thousands of tombs, which are the best places for our Feng family disciples to practice in seclusion or gain experience.
Here, in order to keep the Yin energy strong and strong, we usually do not kill weak underworld ghosts, but allow them to advance and grow.
It's just that we have just entered not long ago, so you haven't seen any ghosts appear yet. When we go deeper, we will encounter many ghosts along the way.
However, the highest level of these ghosts wandering outside is usually no higher than the sixth level of Qi Condensation Stage. Once they exceed this level, they will be sealed in a tomb by the family..."
